Color: Medium Dark Yellow.
Malts: No Information
Hops: Simcoe
Bottle Code: I found a laser-etched code on the bottom of the bottle but I don't know what it means.  I've contacted the brewery to see if they can explain it to me.   (1623 A2 0616)

Cost: $4.49

Pour

A half pinky of a white creamy head formed.

Look

It wasn't very carbonated.
Very cloudy.
There was a lot of stuff floating around.

Aroma

Grapefruit, mango, other citrus.  Very pungent. Very delightful.

Taste

Very citrusy.  none of the normal funky Simcoe flavor.
Over time, my palette does get fatigued.  However with a few minutes between sips, my palette remains fresh.

Verdict

This is a very good, flavorful, IPA.  For $4.49 per 22oz bomber, I would definitely buy this on a regular basis.

Rating

Based on the style, I'd give this beer a "A"
